I accidently threw away the instructions to this product. Do you have to sterilize all parts in boiling water for 5 minutes like you do with Dr. Brown bottles?

No, I didn't sterilized it. I wash is with soap warm water. And I rinsed it with boiling hot water.

Before 1st use, I boiled all the parts for 3-5 minutes. After that, I just clean with mild soap and warm water. I also use a tiny wire bristle brush to clean the spout (I think that is from Dr. Browns also).

There is a 12-minute PREHEAT function where you must put the empty jars in first, that is the sterilization step, you do NOT put in lids or rims by the way, just the open jars. So easy. I just used the canner today making cranberry syrup. I used the JAM setting #1. I love this appliance. No heavy, dangerous pots of hot water to deal with, especially in 90 degree temps like today.

I've boiled mine in water to sterilize it several times. Still works with no problems.

If you like to sterilize your water for 7 minutes, why not just boil it on the stove in an open pot? You can do a lot more a lot faster that way.

I did this about five times until it cracked and I have terrible burns. The pitcher was at room temp on a warm day and the water was slightly off boil. BEWARE!!!

Yes, I use it with my glass Dr. Brown Bottles. Works fine...but it does take about 20 minutes to fully heat it...or more. We wish we would have gone with a different model that heats quicker

I sure haven't tried that. I would suggest a mild bleach and water solution rather than boiling water. Good luck!

It takes about 5-ish minutes for a hard boil. Sooner if you do not want it as scalding.

Brittany, No it does not. I sanitize any new pacifiers and bottles/nipples by placing them in boiling water for 5 minutes before use.

Just like you do any other bottle. Whether you want to boil daily, use an electric or microwaveable sterilizer, or even sterilizing tabs. Any of these ways will work just fine.

No. This device sterilizes bottles. You wash bottles first and then place in sterilizer where high temperature steam sterilizes bottles. They will not be dry after cycle (3 minutes). They will be covered with tiny droplets of water. I shake them off and let them air dry or they can be reused damp. It is only a slight amount more water added to breast milk or formula.

I was worried about sterilizing this also when I bought it. However my pediatrician says that as long as you rinse it with warm water right after you are done using it then wash it with warm soapy water you never have to sterilize. He says the same thing about bottles. That works for us because I wash it with hot soapy water as soon as it is empty so I can fill it up again. Don't know if you are comfortable with that advice but I am passing it on. I do throw it in the dishwasher once in a blue moon.

I mix the formula 2 ounces at a time, with hot water in a glass Dr. Brown's bottle. Then put the bottle in a cup of hot water for a few minutes and shake. Repeat until it's all dissolved.

The newer kit's directions are a little confusing. Put the liquid and dry malt/DME in at the same time. Put one in and stir to mix well and not while boiling. Put the hops in next. Stir and then you begin to boil and heat for the 45 minutes. You can hold some out til the end but that kit re really doesn't have enough hops to make a difference between flavor and aroma. Keep stirring and be very careful of boiling out the foam. This will stop after a while but it will make a nasty mess if you don't watch it.Enjoy

No, you only need to boil it once before you mold it. Once molded thats it. Just pop in and use.

Hi Matthew, i havent tried that but i would say no... it never gets to a boil and you might end up with a sticky mess.

I have used all sorts of different Milton sterilizing products and i think its just marketing. You just follow the instructions of the mixing/dilution on the package and presto it works. All the ones i have used at 15min sterilization time if you mix as per the instructions on the tablets, the max tablets or the liquid. I have used the liquid, a mixing ration of small tablet to 2 liters and the big tablets which is 1 tablet to 4 liters, in my experience its all the same.
